Dear Altadore Families,Altadore School is fortunate to have an incredibly active School Council that enriches the learning experience for our students. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of all of our parents, especially this year when there have been so many school traditions, events, and practices that have had to be adjusted due to the pandemic.Although we are unable to host guests or volunteers in our school, we have been able to reintroduce residencies through a virtual format. In January, we welcomed Elder Randy Bottle (Saa’kokoto) and Rocks and Rings curling. This week, we begin our Hip Hop dance residency through Sound Kreations and our Grades 3-6 students begin virtual writing classes with author Sigmund Brouwer.During our Professional Learning time on Friday, our staff commented that it is beginning to feel more like Altadore with the extra opportunities the students have had this last month. Part of what makes Altadore so special is all of the enrichment activities our students receive, and we are thankful that we have been able to find a way to bring these opportunities to our students, even during COVID. We would not be able to host Fun Fits, arrange residencies, or have guest speakers come into our classrooms without our generous School Council. Thank you!As always,we want to thank our families once again for your support throughout this unprecedented school year. Please reach out if you have anything you would like to share or discuss.Kelly Christopher , PrinciopalMeagan Lundgren, Assistant Principalkdchristophe@cbe.ab.ca mllundgren@cbe.ab.ca
